Sales Expansion Success: Sales efforts in beyond apparel segments, including carpet and military, are beginning to pay off, with sales starting this month.
Textile Circularity Innovations: Circularity and textile take-back innovations are gaining traction with customers, expected to generate sales in Q4 and more significantly in fiscal 2026.
Stronger Second Half Performance: The company anticipates a stronger performance in the second half of the fiscal year due to operational improvements and new sales initiatives.
